(Personality.) I got the sense that she is still trying to come to terms with who she is as a person and that she has a sense of dissatisfaction with herself. Teaching is not an appropriate avenue to figure this out. Easy A, but if you're a cog/behavioral sort of person, expect to roll your eyes a lot; she's very Freudian and humanistic.

She actually loves what she does, so don't be afraid to participate and ask questions. Now, go and register for her class already, would ya! Lol.

My favorite teacher I have taken in my college career! I had her for personality and it was so interesting. I left so inspired every class and I learned more about humans than I thought i would. I love her and recommend her to any student who loves deep conversations and wants to learn more about themselves.

She is not qualified to teach at the college level. She rambles on about her political opinions. She cried the entire class the day after the election and made 2 others cry. Her teaching is based on pseudoscience. Look up her private practice and you will know what I mean. Don't take and save yourself the head ache
